New addition

bunti(7)December 14, 2012

I have found this new aglaonema at local nursery. I have started liking ags. I have got siam aurora last year and its doing really great. Its growing very fast. This plant is doing the best among all my plants. I am not doing anything special to this plant. it became double the size.

Wow, those are PRETTY! I just got an AG today too, I think it's a 'Silver Queen' (not as interesting looking as yours). I hope mine grows as well as your first one has (and hopefully your second one grows as well too).

I got one of those coloured Ags not long back and split the plant, seems like 2 cuttings had been put in the one pot together. Not long after both flowered although still small. They seem a bit different to the older type Ags.

Your new addition is a beauty! I had to look up aglaonemas and found out that there was a lot of variety. I also found out the Chinese consider them to be lucky plants and the Thai call them 'smile of fortune' plants. Marg

My neighbor gave me a poinsetta today and it is small and cute and I need some info on how to take care of it so I can keep it after the holidays. My sister-in-law had one for about 3 or 4 years, I hope I have it that long.

Hey, found one like your top pic on clearance at WM today, $6.50. It's a little beat-up but came with a nice ceramic pot that would be about that price by itself. I need to remove the damaged leaves...

That's really quite beautiful, the array of colors is just stunning, as was the first pic on this thread. Think I like that yours is a bit more green than that one. Maybe some day I could talk swap w/ ya (yea, right, like still there's plants out there you like but don't already have, ha! I can dream!!)

I have seen some aglaonemas (including reds) on Ebay sold by a few U.S. sellers who mostly seem to be reselling imported plants. Someday I'll get around to finding out if the variety I want can be added to their inventory (I like the one named "Venus"). But if you can't get these plants locally definitely give Ebay a try.
